PlusMe gusto mucho, el maestro es buenísimo pero sí, tendré que verlo varias veces para entender bien lo de las capas y como maneja el color.

Curso muy interesante, porque hay pocos Cursos online sobre el Clip Studio Paint y yo es este el programa que uso. Debería de haber más Cursos del Clip Studio Paint. Sobre todo en Domestika Basics, para aprender en profundidad cómo utilizar el programa y sacarle todo su jugo.
